Consumption Among Negroes.

"You never heard of negroes dying of
consumption before the war;" said an ex-
Virginia slave the other day. SIT is only
within the past twenty-five years that the
disease has fastened its clutches upon our
rsople. In the old days it was a pretty
'Nzy coon that caught anything worse
han licking. The slave always had too
much to do to spend any time lying around
for consumption to light upon him. He
got up early in the morning, worked hard
all day and went to bed early at pight.
He ate 'possum and yams, and sang and
danced when the days work was done.
This sort of living and exercise made the
slave proof against consumption and lung
diseases. 1t is all different now. There
are heap of young 'coons' lying round
town playing Christmas gigs in the policy
shops and shooting craps in some alley,
who are keeping open house for just such
callers as spinal meningitis and consump-

HEARTLEss CRUELTY

il is TO deiude poor sufferer into the
belief that some worthless liniment will
cure rheumatism and neuralgia. Honesty
is the best policy in the manufacture oi
proprietary articles as in all other matters.
and the fact that the proprietors OF Athlo-
phoros have never claimed for ii even ali
its merit would warrant has not little to
do with its wonderful popularity, and the
thousands of grateful testimonials received
by them show that their policy has been
wise as well as right.
Experience has amply demonstrated
that mere outward applications are worth
less. The disease has its seat in the blood,
and any remedy to be successful must deal
with the obstructive acid which poisons
and inflaDes it.
Athlophoros acts on the blood, muscles
and joints directly. 1t takes the poison
out of the blood and carries it out of the
system; it invigorates the action of the
muscles and limbers the stiffness OF the
joints 1t reaches the liver ard kidneys,
cleansing them from irritating substances,
and, if followed up after the rheumatic
conditions cease, it will restore these organs
to regularity and health. q
Patrick Eagan, clerk for Sayres Il Co,
Wilmington, Ohio, says: 81 was laid up
with rheumatism for four weeks. 1t would
be impossible for me to describe what !
endured Night and day was constant
sufferer, trying every kind of 3 treatment
and medicine until l was almest dis
couraged, as nothing gave me relief. As
soon as learned of Athlophoros and what
it done for others right here in this city,
commenced using it. In two days time
was ont ofthe house, free from rheumatism.
That is over year ago and have never
been troubled with the disease since"
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist the Athlo-
phoros Co., liz Wall St., New York, will
send either Carriage paid on receipt Of
regular price, which is sl.0O per bottle

SCARED INTO REFORMATION.
An Old Railroader's story-A Close Cal
for q Drunken Man.

"Cut on our Nebraska line near Sutton.
Clay county" said railroader, who for
many years had owed allegiance to the
great Chicago, Burlington and Quincy,
''there used to live man named Potter
a rather old man, who had seen better
days, but who was then living in a duguut,
about two miles from town, and close by
the railroad track. He was q fearful old
drunkard, too, and used to go to town
about every other day and fill up at Pat
Curran's saloon, starting home late in the
evening, and always taking the railroad
track. Being an old man, and not able to
stand such big and bad doses of liquor as
Pat gave him, he often fell down on the
track AID went TO sleep. Time and again
our boys stopped their trains on discover
ing old Potter ahead and, of course, saved
his life every time they did it. 1t got to
be so that it was rule of the road along
by Sutton to look out for old Potter
After time the boys got tired of 1t, and
got the local agent to notify the old man
that he'd got to keep off the track or get
hurt. This had no effect, and Potter used
our ties for a bed quite as often as before.
One winters night in 1874 Dave Thomp-
son-he's now superintendent at Lincoln,
but he was then freight conductor-one
night Dave was running an extra cattle
train from Lowell, and rs they reached
the top of the hill going down to Sutton,
Dave was in the engine cab, and he said:
"'Keep a sharp lookout for old Potter
II he's on let's give him a scare
pretty soon the engineer sighted a
dilapidated form ahead on the track, and
declared that it was the old man. whistle
for brakes said Thompson, but let her
run pretty free, and we'n shake the old
man up Bit
''The boys all entered into the spirit of
thing. Their purpose was to run the loco
motives nose right into the old man and
rouse him without hurting him, with the
idea of giving him good scare. But the
weight of the train and the grade proved
pretty bad things to calculate to such
fine point, and when the locomotive
reached the old man the boys all had
their hearts in their throats and a feeling
that they were little better than murder
ers. They jumped down, expecting to
find Potter all mashed to pieces, but there
he was under the engine, snug up against
the fire box, where he had been rolled and
pushed along on the snow for two or three
rods. He was evidently warm on the
side next the fire box and cold on the
other, for just as the boys got to him they
heard him mutter:
''T shay, ole 'oman-shay-yer pullin'
all Ter cover off'n me-
well, the boys got him out, and were
delighted to find that he wasn't much
hurt. As soon as they got him thor
oughly reused he was the most fright
ened man that ever was. That scare
proved his salvation, for he braced up and
reformed, and now owns one of the finest,
best stocked farms in Clay county. / got
this story from one of our Nebraska men,
and know it to be true. te."-Chicago Herald

A Man in His Prime.

The venerable James Jackson, who was
the Nestor of the medical profession for SO
long time in Boston, used to say that a
man came to the prime Of his effective fac
ulties when he was 65 years old. He said
that it was true that the curve of physical
strength was then declining. But expert
ence and the ability to act which comes
from experience are, of course, constantly
improving while memory holds. Accord
ing TO Dr. jackson the curve of experience
and the curve of physical life cross each
othLr at the age of 65.-Boston Journal

4 WORD ABOUT CATARRH.

ut Is the mucous membrane, that wonder
fui semi-fluid envelope surrounding the deli
cate tissues Of the air and food passages, that
Catarrh makes its stronghold. Once estab-
ltshed, IL eats into the very vitals, and renders
life but long breath Of misery and
disease. dulling the sense Of hearing. trammel-
ling the power of speech, destroying the fac
ulty Of smell. tainting the breath, and killing
the refined pleasures Of taste. Insidiously, BY
creeping on from simple cold in the head, 1t
assaults the membranOus lining, and envelops
the bones; eating through the delicate coats
and causing Inflammation, slouxhing and
death. Nothing short Of total eradication
will secure health to the patient, and all allie
viates are simply procrastinated sufferings,
leading to fatal termination. SANFoRD's
IA toIcAL CURE. by inhalation and internal ad-
ministratiOn, has never failed; even when the
disease has made frightful inroads on delicate
constitutions, hearing, smell and taste have
been recovered. and the disease thoroughly
driven out"
